These are IT Consultants who work on large (Fortune 500) company's software implementations, etc.

I don't give a fark if they finished college. About half of them did not, but they DO have the ability to think through problems. Overall the employees as a whole are well above average and there's no distinction between the ones with degrees vs. the ones without.

It's probably been over 5 years since any of our customers stated a consultant had to have a college degree as well.

Almost every entry level job I've applied to has had a minimum GPA requirement. Back before I returned to school and I was on the other side of the interviewing table, I certainly cared, and my boss cared even more. The advice you are giving is dangerous and wrong, at least for engineering students.
